The Ex-Lord Angus Clydesdale Targa Florio, Monza and Spa 1000Km, Steinlager Championship Winning 1968 Chevron B8 Chassis No ! The Ex-Lord Angus Clydesdale Targa Florio, Monza and Spa 1000Km, Steinlager Championship Winning 1968 Chevron B8 Chassis No. CH-DBE-81 • Sold new to well known racer Lord Angus Clydesdale and raced by him extensively both internationally in the World Sportscar Championship and in the RAC British Sportscar Championship during the 1969 and 1970 seasons. • Driven to an impressive 3rd in class in by Lord Clydesdale in the 1969 Targa Florio. Also raced by him in the 1969 Monza and Spa 1000Km as well as the 1970 Spa 1000Km and the BOAC 1000Km at Brands Hatch. • Raced continuously throughout its life, including winning the prestigious Steinlager Championship outright in 1986. • Professionally maintained with no expense spared in its current ownership by marque specialists Martin O’Connell Racing starting with a back to bare chassis restoration. Accompanied by current FIA papers, extensive history file, healthy running spares package including two sets of wheels (four with tyres and four without) and a fresh zero hours Lester Owen BMW M10 engine. • In short if you are looking for a well prepared race proven Chevron B8 with great international and continuous race history, to race in a wide variety of events, both here and on the continent, look no further, this is your car! Chevron is the true British motor racing story, the talented engineer who started in a lock up garage and went on to be one of the worlds leading names in both sports car and single seater formula racing. No fewer that six former Chevron drivers went on to achieve World Champion status. An extraordinary talent, Derek Bennett was a brilliant and mainly self taught engineer with an impressive aptitude for repairing, modifying and sculpting race cars. Like so many of the great race car producers of his era, when he was not working at the track he could be found behind the wheel racing mostly custom built racing cars. T. + 44 (0)1285 831 488 E. [email protected] www.williamianson.com ! Competing himself in a number of cars and considering purchasing a new race car, with the ever changing racing regulations he felt he could produce a better example himself. Created on a space frame chassis and powered by a Ford Kent engine and carrying the Chevron name the B1 made its debut at Kirkistown in 1965 and won the race. This was to be the first of many victories for Derek Bennett and his impressive Chevron cars. The success of the Chevron marque became closely intertwined with its customers worldwide, buying and racing their Chevron cars most notably in 2-litre sports car competition but also single seater Formula 5000, Formula 2 and Formula 3. The Chevron B8 is widely regarded to be one of the most beautiful sports racing cars ever produced, with their looks only to be matched by their handling. To all intensive purpose the B8 was an ‘improved’ version of the B6. The basic design remains the same, but on the B8 the under tray is bonded onto the chassis frame and it carries larger radiators, oil pipes and fuel tanks. In answer to customer demands a front anti-roll bar was fitted, although this was deemed unnecessary by Derek Bennet who already felt the car was perfectly balanced as it was. By the time the B8 appeared Chevron production had become a well-honed operation. Arch Motors supplied the chassis direct to Chevron and Specialised Mouldings manufactured the smooth and sleek bodywork. T. + 44 (0)1285 831 488 E. [email protected] www.williamianson.com ! The B8 was homologated as a Group 4 Sports Car in 1968. Only 44 examples were built between 1968 and 1970 and were fitted with a number of different engines with the most popular being a 2 litre BMW unit. In order the get the B8 homologated as a Group 4 car it was necessary to produce 50 cars but by some clever interpretation of the rules including adding the 1967 B6 cars in the calculations the FIA accepted the B8. The 1968 B8 was perhaps the car that really established Chevron as a serious production car manufacturer capable of taking on all-comers and beating them. It was success from the start for the B8 with Digby Martland and Brian Classick finishing 9th overall at the BOAC 500 miles at Brands Hatch. Other results included an amazing 2-3-4-5 at Croft, 5th and 6th overall at the Speedworld International Trophy at Oulton Park for Chris Craft and Tim Schenken and finally Peter Gethin was third at the Guards International Trophy at Brands Hatch. Adding to this several wins in UK club racing as well as some success on the Continent and for Brian Redman in the South Africa's Springbok series, meant that Chevron could look back on 1968 as an important step in their increasing stature. In 1969 the B8 took a big step further towards its now legendary status, with the Kleinpeter/Gun/Beaty B8 taking sixth overall and a class in the Daytona 24 Hour race. The Wisell/Hine B8 finished seventh in the 1969 BOAC 500 Mile race at Brands Hatch also winning their class. The Red Rose Racing B8 in the hands of John Lepp was dominant in the RAC British Spots Car Championship taking the 1969 and 1970 titles. The B8’s place was well and truly stamped in motorsport history. With the ever growing array of distance and endurance races and events in historic racing the B8’s speed, handling and versatility has very much made to the car of choice for drivers both in Europe and the USA. As such the B8 has continued to shine and be the car to beat. This fine example that we are delighted to offer for sale is no exception. Chassis Number CH-DBE-81, it was supplied new to regarded and well known racer Lord Angus Clydesdale, finished in the standard mid-blue gel coat. An engineer and avid racer and pilot, whose father was the first man to fly over Mount Everest and was the force behind the creation of Prestwick Airport and Scottish Aviation. Lord Angus’ career included being an aerial photographer for the RAF in Malaya before going on to be one of the team which developed the Supercat, an amphibious vehicle still in military and civilian service today.

Lord Angus Clydesdale on his way to a class podium finish in the 1969 Targa Florio - photo Revs Institute Lord Angus Clydesdale raced CH-DBE-081 in 30 races during the 1969 and 1970 season. Maybe with the advantage of suitable private funding, this B8 had the advantage over may of its counterparts as being raced further afield in a number overseas World Sportscar events in the 1969 season. The first outing was the Monza 1000km on the 25th of April 1969. Entered under Falken Racing Developments, sadly Angus Clydesdale and John Markey failed to qualify. Things improved greatly for the world famous Targa Florio on the 4th of May when Angus Clydesdale and Edgar Berney, entered under Racing Team Falken finished 3rd in the S5.0 class and 24th overall. The Spa 1000km, a week later, saw Clydesdale, this time driving with Terry Hunter and entered by Lord Clydesdale himself, finish 3rd in the S2.0 class and 19th overall. From Spa he returned to the UK for the Martini Trophy at Silverstone on the 17th of May, where driving on his own and entered this time as Falken Racing Developments, he came 6th overall. A further outing at the Croft Martini Trophy saw Lord Clydesdale, this time driving alone, finish 6th. Another week and another track and Lord Clydesdale, again sharing the driving duties with Terry Hunter, took 11th in the RAC Tourist Trophy at Oulton Park. T. + 44 (0)1285 831 488 E. [email protected] www.williamianson.com ! Lord Angus Clydesdale BOAC 1000Km at Brands Hatch - Photo Ferret Fotographics In the second half of the season he also took the car to Sweden on two occasions, taking 12th at Anderstorp on the 29th of June and 13th in the Nordic Challenge at Matrop Park on the 31st of August 1969. In 1970 the B8 took part in two more World Sportscar events, the BOAC 1000Kms at Brands Hatch in April, as seen above and the Spa 1000Kms in May. At Brands Hatch he co-drove with Mike Franey in the now Intertech Steering Wheels-entered car finishing 4th in the S2.0 class and 14th overall. At Spa, again entered as Intertech Steering Wheels, the driving duties were shared with John Markey and sadly they retired with oil and water leaks. The RAC British Sports Car Championship saw another 1970 outing finishing 6th in class and 17th overall in the WD & HO Wills (The Jock Leith Trophy Race for Group 5, 6 and 7 Sports Cars) at Croft. In 1971, Ch-DBE-81 was sold to Richard Simms who raced it at the Daily Express Meeting at Oulton Park on the 9th of March 1971 where he came 7th and again at the BRDC Meeting at Silverstone on the 8th of May, where he came 15th. In 1972 he reputedly fitted a Gropa spider body to the car and Cosworth FVA engine before racing twice at Croft, taking 5th on both occasions. In 1973, CH-DBE-81 was sold to well known Chevron racer Brian Classic who, according to a letter in the history file from L. H. Owen Automotive in February 1987, “ran the car with an FVA, then BMW and the FVA again.

  • ACES WILD ACES WILD the Story of the British Grand Prix the STORY of the Peter Miller
    ACES WILD ACES WILD The Story of the British Grand Prix THE STORY OF THE Peter Miller Motor racing is one of the most 10. 3. BRITISH GRAND PRIX exacting and dangerous sports in the world today. And Grand Prix racing for Formula 1 single-seater cars is the RIX GREATS toughest of them all. The ultimate ambition of every racing driver since 1950, when the com­ petition was first introduced, has been to be crowned as 'World Cham­ pion'. In this, his fourth book, author Peter Miller looks into the back­ ground of just one of the annual qualifying rounds-the British Grand Prix-which go to make up the elusive title. Although by no means the oldest motor race on the English sporting calendar, the British Grand Prix has become recognised as an epic and invariably dramatic event, since its inception at Silverstone, Northants, on October 2nd, 1948. Since gaining World Championship status in May, 1950 — it was in fact the very first event in the Drivers' Championships of the W orld-this race has captured the interest not only of racing enthusiasts, LOONS but also of the man in the street. It has been said that the supreme test of the courage, skill and virtuosity of a Grand Prix driver is to w in the Monaco Grand Prix through the narrow streets of Monte Carlo and the German Grand Prix at the notorious Nürburgring. Both of these gruelling circuits cer­ tainly stretch a driver's reflexes to the limit and the winner of these classic events is assured of his rightful place in racing history.

  • The Domingo's – Racing Around Prejudice
    The Domingo’s – Racing around Prejudice Greg Mills POSITIONED ATOP THE KILLARNEY CLUBHOUSE IN THE EARLY 1970s, I remember clearly the comment of one smirking safari-suited individual as Des Ally blasted his ex-works Chev ‘CanAm’ into the lead down the back-straight. In those days, before enclosed bars and eating areas, we used to run across the second-floor of the Clubhouse every lap to watch the cars shoot under the bridge and brake for Hoal’s Hoek (sadly renamed in the 1980s after some transient sponsor) and then we would dash over to the other side to view them up the short-straight into the Malmesbury Sweep before they headed off at a rate of knots down to the banked BP corner. ‘See what happens when you give a black man power?’ Mr Safari exclaimed, at least half, I prefer to believe, in jest about the coloured driver’s obvious speed. Ally was among the pioneers of removing prejudice from the sport if not from individuals. But the honour of being the first to do so should go to the Domingo family. They were the first F1 drivers ‘of colour’, to invoke modern parlance, way before Lewis Hamilton or even the US star Willy T Ribbs. Family patriarch Solly Domingo had been a car enthusiast since the 1930s, participating in races in the 1950s at Grand Central, according to eldest son Joe. Joe, interviewed in 2008 when 68, is one of four Domingo brothers who took up the sport in the 1960s and 1970s – along with twins Mike and Alan, born in 1946, and youngest son Yunus.

  • Juerg Dubler
    Jürg Dubler - Swiss star of «Les Années Fabuleuses de la Formule 3 » By Dennis Thalmann «I won against Niki Lauda most of the time when we raced in F3. I think the only time he beat me was with his Porsche 911 against my Volvo on the road!» And one of these victories was at the very fast and challenging circuit at Brno - an ultimate driving test. Jürg Dubler related this reminiscence with a subtle smile and a sparkle in his eye while recalling his racing experiences during probably the greatest period of Formula 3 and some of the most competitive racing in the history of the sport. The period was 1964-1970. This was the time of the Cosworth 1000cc engined Formula 3 cars, known as the «screamer» engines for the incredible sound they made at high revs, which they seemed to be onto at all times! It was a period of large grids and extremely close racing that was every bit as exciting as the Formula One of its day. It was also the key developing and launching ground at that time for all drivers aiming for Formula One. Jürg Dubler, a tall, easy-going Swiss driver from the Zurich area, was one of the most prolific and successful drivers of that time, against such talent as Jo Siffert, Ronnie Peterson, Clay Regazzoni, Emerson Fittipaldi, James Hunt, Graham Hill, Piers Courage, Howden Ganley, Peter Gethin, Tim Schenken, Willy Mairesse, Peter Revson, Manfred Mohr, to name a few. He won a total of 36 races and finished second 18 times of the more than 100 races competed in all over Europe, including the Nordic countries and the U.K., and in the Temporada series in Argentina, during this 6 year period.

  • Orange Times Issue 6
    The Orange Times Bruce McLaren Trust February / March 2015, Issue #6 Bruce McLaren Retirement Village – Grand Opening As mentioned in our first issue, the trust is very proud to be associated with Ryman Healthcare’s newest Retirement Village located at 795 Chapel Road, Howick, East Auckland. Ryman is the country’s largest Aged Care operator presently with 30 Retirement Villages. Traditionally the villages are named after famous New Zealanders. The ‘Grand Opening’ of the village was held on Friday 19th December, to which the Trustee’s were invited as special guests, along with other special guests, existing residents, prospective residents, construction staff, contractors and others. There was certainly a McLaren motor racing flavour to the evening, with orange themed special invitations, white-overalled parking attendants waving chequered flags and, parked under the village centre porte-cochere were the Trust’s McLaren Service Station workshop vintage Austin 7 and a brand new McLaren 650S Spider! Guests enjoyed a cocktail party and a selection of songs from Dame Malvina Major, along with speeches by Ryman Healthcare Managing Director Simon Challies, CFO Gordon MacLeod, and our own Jan McLaren, who had the honour of officially opening the new Bruce McLaren Retirement Village. Jan’s was a particularly memorable speech and included her personal thoughts: “Bruce was well recognised internationally, and it is great to see a tribute to him in his home city. It’s nice to see his name remembered on something permanent outside of the motorsport community. We were very pleased to have been asked.’’ A commemorative plaque in the village centre was then unveiled by Jan, ably assisted by another very special guest, Greeta Hulme.
